Thanks for simplifying use of AI in our clinical work .I agree with you may safe time of documentation .However until we have clear guidelines from our CPSO and CMPA and become the standard of care ,I will wait. There are a lot of unknown legality that need to be clear.
Please continue to tackle AI use and challenges .
very comprehensive review
Thanks
Great presentation
Great learning opportunity
Thanks
Thank you for this summary approach to people living with LBP .
My challenge is people expect quick fix and fast cure and i try to help this how to live with it and self manage to enable them to function and enjoy QOL .Just spending more time may help .Right???
Good question! There are no guidelines set in stone. Typically you want blood pressure controlled over three months, and it’s stable, you can monitor usually every 3 to 6 months. Depending on the medication used, you would monitor with diagnostic labs, for example, kidneys, electrolytes, etc..
I can’t comment on the smoking… I always advocate for smoking cessation! But I agree, sleep apnoea, alcohol use, obesity… All factors that contribute to high blood pressure and so important to implement changes in these areas to both control blood pressure, and also prevent complications!
Thank you for listening and commenting!
How do we follow up patients who are diagnosed with HT and started treatment ?
I routinely ask their use of alcohol , in particular hard liquors (whisky , rum ), I find people who use them regularly have HT. And they are difficult to control until they quit . Same with lack of sleep . If they don’t sleep well their BO would remain high . No matter what medication one use . That’s why sometimes CPAP , use if sleep aids are useful . Interestingly I find most of the smoker specially those who are slim , don’t have HT ! Can’t explain why , is it the (good) side effect of smoking .
